Random NBA Observations 2015 - 2016

[jaguar paw]

I didn't believe Durant was going anywhere this summer going into the season but now we can pretty much confirm that Batum is the premier free agent wing that's actually going to available (unless LeBron pulls another heel turn).

So many bums are getting guap come July.

And @KOBE you still bored or nah?

If the Thunder wins this series against GSW, I rooting for them to win the title. Durant and Westbrook are too great of a duo to not have at least one championship together.

The Warriors, on the other hand, would go out like the 98 Vikings and 2001 Mariners. The thing about it is that the teams that eliminated them from the postseason didn't win the championship. Hopefully, the same thing doesn't happen to the Thunder

the games would be better if more were closer, but I'm enjoying the fact we ain't just getting sweeps. Thunder/Warriors have had one close game breh, we're all just loving the fact they're getting absolutely trashed. :kobe3:

Surreal to think Bron may actually win one in Cleveland, a title in CLEVELAND

The PG crop of FA's this summer is absolutely terrible -

I could only imagine the deal Lin is about to get.

I'm down to invest in whatever start-up he creates with the money from his next deal.

My condolences.

Is there some receipts on this dude being a great gambler? Whenever asked about picks he always says he doesn't want to affect lines so he never posts his actual bets. The most annoying one was him saying he knows exactly how to stop the Warriors but didn't want to reveal it because he didn't want to affect the playoffs. Has solid opinions at times but overall just seems a huge boaster. Weird how many places have brought him on as an expert.

Mike Conley is his own agent or is his agent name mike conley as well?

He would be a good fit for the Spurs...but I don't want to pay him damn near max...cause we desperately need youth and athleticism in our front court and if we get conley we won't have any money for big men...

And it's all these rumors I see about the Spurs possibly shopping Parker...I know my suave frenchmen has lost a step...or 5... but I couldn't stand to see him on another team

shyt if it came down to conley vs parker I would probably roll with Parker and just accept the fact that the spurs won't be winning a title with him as the starting pg

Nah, Mike Conley Sr.

I don't like Conley that much, he's not the type to take over games and win them for you. He's a good PG, but he's more like a game manager to me than anything else.

Buy a draft pick and try to get Wade Baldwin or take a chance on a young player who is clearly on the way out with his current team like say Trey Burke. I'd spend the money on the frontcourt and some more athleticism on the wing and try to get an undervalued PG, or someone that could blossom in a new environment, Mike Conley is just so to me.

The player I really want at the point for the Spurs is Delly...

Great defender...borderline dirty defender...takes smart shots...don't even get me started how dumb cleveland is by not just putting him in the game and letting him get to the freethrow line with a live dribble cause he always makes the right decision when he does...

I am less into how "good" a player is and more into what that player does well for a specific team...

Spurs offensive doesn't need to run through point guard pick and rolls anymore...they got probably the best shooting big in the nba...Kawhi was insanely efficient from all over the floor this year...

Parker did his best but he is not a distributor...to many times this year Kawhi and/or LMA were cooking and then Parker takes 3 straight shots...Parker had WAY to many games this year when he had 2 points cause he not a natural catch and shoot player and that is really how a point guard is going to get his shots on this team going forward...

Game 5...last possession to go up 1...Kawhi had been murdering KD and Roberson in the paint all game...Parker doesn't even look his way...shoots a brick...game over...

Conley would fit that role the best...but he is going to command damn near max...and I don't want to pay that...

Ideally I would like to see the spurs get Mahinmi, Delly, and Powell...

Spurs already got an uber athlete in waiting on the perimeter in Simmons it's just that Manu is sucking up his minutes...if Manu retire he by himself will go a long way to making them more athletic on the wing...

And I'm tired of Danny Green...I know his defense is stellar...but he is dragging both Kawhi and LMA down so bad with his inability to do ANYTHING consistently on offense...Simmons would have to go threw a year or two of growing pains but he could eventually be as good if not better than Danny...all the while being able to actually dribble a basketball...

I started this year watching Danny Green play and saying "at least he not as bad as Roberson"...Now I'm watching Roberson play and saying "I wish Danny Green was half as good on offense as this dude"
